Yes, I know it technically isn't released yet, but I have my source websites that allow me to watch movies on the internet, sometimes before they come out, as is the case with "Nowhere Boy", the biopic on John Lennon in his teens.
First off, I am a relatively big Beatles fan, I am however, not a John Lennon fan in even the slightest(chalk it up to political differences and my burning hatred of Yoko Ono). With that being said, I still really enjoyed this movie. Lennon's troubled childhood, being raised by his aunt, not knowing a real father other than his uncle, who died while he was still young, and then finally meeting his mother, who ultimately became his source of interest in starting a band that eventually became The Beatles, lends itself perfectly to a dramatic and entertaining hour and a half of mucis history cinema. You wont find much classic Beatles music in the film, yet the soundtrack is still very pleasing. Aaron Johnson, of Kick-Ass, fame plays the role splendidly, and is quickly asserting his status as a top-tier actor who has a versatility of roles.
I give "Nowhere Boy" 4 stars out of 5.
